Doris Kearns Goodwin Quote

It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed, Abigail Adams wrote to her son John Quincy Adams in the midst of the American Revolution, suggesting that the habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues.
